For the eleventh straight year since 2008, Cypress Bank has presented a high-end MacBook laptop for the use of Northeast Texas Community College honors students.  This year’s recipient is Miguel Paco.  He is a recent graduate of Mount Pleasant High School and Presidential Scholar at NTCC, who has been active in Honors and Alpha Mu Chi activities.  Paco majors in physics.

All students enrolled at NTCC were invited to complete a national survey (The Student Financial Wellness Survey) to document the financial well-being of our students and how it impacts their ability to successfully achieve their college goals.  Three students who completed the survey were randomly selected to receive a $100 gift card to the NTCC College Store.  The students are Hannah Fouche (right) and Michelle Solo (center), and Janet Johnson (not pictured). They are pictured with Toni LaBeff (left), NTCC Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Research.
